How big is big? How does she seem?

Poor dd - and you.

I should think she will be fine, what did you do with the others when they had bumps to the head. ?

well i went out to dinner anyway, my mum said she was fine, not at all drowsey, and went down fine to sleep.

LGJ, the other two didnt bang their heads as much as this little monkey. i mean its a big lump and right at the back of her head so was unsure.

when our dd1 hit her head as a baby, and got a big lump, a paed nurse who lived upstairs was v reassuring - she said its good when the swelling comes outwards, as you know there's not pressure on the brain.

hope she's ok today... but if you're unsure phone nhs direct about possible concussion maybe.
